Options in the first round include Omar Cooper Jr., Cashius Howell and Max Iheanachor. But who are fits in the second and fourth rounds?

The #49ers electing to not exercise a $10M option bonus for OT Trent Williams is not a declaration about his future.

The decision simply reverts that $10M back into base salary of which Williams now holds $32.2M.

If exercised, that $10M would prorate at $2.5M in each of the next 4 seasons. SF is keeping the future cap cleaner (for now).

The #49ers will decline stalwart left tackle Trent Williams' $10MM option bonus, but they plan to rework his contract in the coming weeks: https://www.profootballrumors.com/2026/03/49ers-will-not-exercise-lt-trent-williams-bonus

I live in a world in which the #49ers are annually among the NFL's most injured teams and many of their recent free-agent signings have been injured a lot.

If Love doesn't go in the top five, there aren't many teams with a glaring need at running back. Could he become Derrick Henry's successor?
